Marvin Clyde Cunningham, 84 years old, passed away peacefully on Feb. 10, 2026, in Fresno, California. Born May 13, 1941 in Oroville, California. He had deep roots in Madera, California, and spent 36 dedicated years working at the Madera Winery, where he was known for his strong work ethic and steady presence.

Family was the center of his life. He is lovingly remembered by his spouse of 40 years, Rosie Cunningham; daughter, Kimberly Guillen; stepdaughter Anita Costa; daughter-in-law Mary Cunningham; and stepsons Richard and Don Caballero. He was preceded in death by his sons Michael and Donald Cunningham. He also leaves 17 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

He found his greatest joy in spending time with his family. Whether sharing stories, laughter, or simple everyday moments, he treasured being surrounded by the people he loved. His kindness, warmth, and quiet strength left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He was a member of the Pan-American Club, and the Elks Lodge.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered in the hearts of his family and friends. His legacy lives on through the generations he cherished so dearly.
